While Americans mark Thanksgiving, Republicans panned over Harris attack

Criticism of vice-president over French cookware purchase backfires as people point out Donald Trump's spending

An attack on Kamala Harris for buying expensive French cookware rebounded on the Republican party over Thanksgiving, moving social media users to compare the vice-president's culinary outlay with the cost to taxpayers of Donald Trump's four years in power.

On a visit to Paris earlier this month, Harris reportedly spent more than $500 on cookware at E Dehillerin, a shop near the Louvre museum. She told reporters she was making the purchase with Thanksgiving cooking in mind, prompting laughter when she said her husband, Doug Emhoff, was her apprentice" in the kitchen.
